All your Christmas things are so pretty. I really like the Santa vignette on your coffee table. I'm just adding a few more touches to the bedrooms and baths and then I'll be finished...I think. :) Then all I have to do is refresh the fresh greenery later.

I love your Christmas decor! Seems like a lot of people are going the more simple route this year (myself included). My favorite part of your decor is the grandma and the mouse in your kitchen - too cute!

Marty,Lovin' all your Christmas vignettes, dear friend!!!Like you, I'm keeping it simpler!!! (wink, wink!)Nearing the finish line here on the Prairie with the decor.This week is "Party~Time" with a busy social calendar.Hoping to get some baking done in the morning hours, but still enjoying last nights Bell & Choral Concert and lookingahead to singing in this years Cantata!!!Fondly,Pat

Your Christmas decorations are gorgeous, very traditional and I love the manger scene. I had a similar gold reindeer I bought in Thailand but somehow on the move back to New Zealand a few years ago when I unpacked him he had lost an antler. They sort of screwed into his head. No idea how it happened, possibly the packers dropped it :(. Maybe I could fashion one out of some clay as I would love to have him out on display again.

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty. Welcome, after years of living farther away from family, we got the keys to our new home on December 17th, 2016. Two weeks later we jumped in with both feet and the remodeling began. I hope you will follow along as I transform our "Builder Basic" house into a home that is a reflection of our family. Careful planning, tons of DIY and a sharp eye for design can turn any house into your dream even if you have a small budget.
